GIT-MKTAG(1) Git Manual GIT-MKTAG(1)NAME
git-mktag - Creates a tag object
SYNOPSIS
git mktag < signature_file
DESCRIPTION
Reads a tag contents on standard input and creates a tag object that can also be used to
sign other objects.
The output is the new tag's <object> identifier.
TAG FORMAT
A tag signature file has a very simple fixed format: four lines of
object <sha1>
type <typename>
tag <tagname>
tagger <tagger>
followed by some optional free-form message (some tags created by older Git may not have
tagger line). The message, when exists, is separated by a blank line from the header. The
message part may contain a signature that Git itself doesn't care about, but that can be
verified with gpg.
